Mr. Speaker, they cannot deliver the mail, but they can look at our email. It is mind-boggling.
The minister talks as if it were normal to spy on the private lives of 785 million people, as if this were just a precaution. We have the government requesting private information about the public and getting that information without a warrant. Then we have the telecommunication companies failing to notify their customers that their information is being handed over to the government. In the meantime, the commissioner is trying to shed light on what is happening, but the companies are putting up roadblocks.
Will the minister compel the telecommunication companies to co-operate with the Privacy Commissioner in all circumstances?
